I constantly wonder how much longer it will be,
Until Jesus comes again and finally sets me free,
From all the constant anguish, sorrow, pain and strife,
Which fill each dark moment of my troubled life.
Each day, from when I wake up, until I go to bed,
Doubts, fears and worries whirl throughout my head.
"What terrible disasters will tomorrow bring?"
Or, "Will I perhaps experience deaths sharp and final sting?"
Every evening, on the TV, there's nothing but bad news,
And when the needy ask for help, people ignore them or refuse.
Kids destroy other's property and think that it is fun:
All they think of is themselves and looking out for number one.
People are living on the streets, lonely and confused -
Children are having babies; others are neglected or abused.
Women murder their own children before they're even born;
Whilst others spend their lives alone, fearful and forlorn.
Father, are You listening? Can You hear my humble prayer?
Please send Your Son, Lord Jesus, to take me to Your care.
For my one heartfelt desire is to join the Heavenly throng,
Forevermore to worship you with praise and joyful song.
